Training Based on Electrical Stimulation Superimposed Onto Voluntary Contraction Would be Relevant Only as Part of Submaximal Contractions in Healthy Subjects

Thierry Paillard (2018) conducted an editorial in Healthy subjects. Electrical stimulation superimposed onto voluntary contraction vs. Voluntary contraction alone or electrical stimulation alone was evaluated. Superimposing electrical stimulation onto voluntary contraction provides no additional benefit during maximal efforts but may enhance motor performance during submaximal contractions in healthy subjects.
